Something for the Train Set

Jump to Comments

I just wanted to share this new train tunnel (O-scale) I made.  I just reread The Great Gatsby and I guess was inspired.  (The billboard is supposed to look decrepit):

“… above the gray land and the spasms of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it, you perceive, after a moment, the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg. The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic – their retinas are one yard high. They look out of no face, but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a non-existent nose. … But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground.”

O-Scale Billboard for T.J. Eckleburg, The Great Gatsby's Oculist
